    I couldn’t quite believe the Cloudflare thing, so I loaded up a new Firefox profile, disabled all cookies, and disabled JavaScript and accessed one of my websites that sits behind cloudflare and… It worked just fine.

    Do you have more info on that? Is it only in certain cases?

      I believe it’s only when they have anti-ddos enabled or CF thinks you’re a bot, it makes you resolve a captcha (sometimes), and that requires cookies and JS.

      I get denied enough it is noticeable when I’m on a VPN with Mull. Sometimes it let’s me do a captcha, sometimes its just a straight up block. Usually dropping my VPN fixes.
